All I meant was that the game came out in 2008 so obviously new players have had to be made. So what does a roster file contain? Updated players and ratings and maybe portraits but the players have generic faces until you get a cyber pack? Faces of previous players? That's what I was asking.

The reason I'm asking is because, to be precise, they aren't necessarily all made the same. When the game permits the amount of editing that this game permits through a GUI editor, like several other PC sports titles, some people overwrite existing players, some people create new players and put everyone else in FA, some people ditch all the old players and use an editor to ONLY create new players. I was just curious. Never mind. I'll download a roster and look for myself.

Oh, tinpanalley
were you using addon_installer and BHimport? I think icepacks only work correctly with NHL Toolbox, correct me if I'm wrong..

No, actually what happened was that, like Icetiger1067
said, I hadn't checked the NHL Ice button.

Now, my international ice are all sideways but I think that's because I haven't actually added any of the new ice files yet, I still have the stock ones. Why the stock ones are sideways makes no sense but obviously something to do with the process of patching different things I'm going through right now.

Some questions if anyone can help me, you don't need to give me instructions, I'm not asking you to do it for me, I just need some guidance on these things...

- Cybers: I'm only recently arriving to 09 modding so I don't know how things have progressed in the past years. Let me explain, on another site with baseball games, I've been there for years and I know that every 6 months or so, certain people add more and more so you have to accumulate one after the other small updates to get.. well.. up to date. Is there one pack of cybers that covers the NHL or is it in pieces? I don't know what I'm looking at in the filebase, I can't tell what's an NHL cyber update, what's European leagues in some of the descriptions, and whether there are even that many cybers out there. The filters aren't perfect.

- logos: I've tried putting the team logos for the team selection screen in the main folder but they're just png image files and don't seem to respond to the toolbox

- When ices are updated, that doesn't update the arena and scoreboard, right? Different install altogether?

- I'm not having luck with torfs being installed. I seem to only see, in the game setup, the ones that come with the game. Is that a toolbox thing as well?

- Is there any tool to modify resolution, anti-aliasing, etc?

Thanks, everyone, I hope I'm not being annoying but I think these questions would be useful to others as well.

Cybers: there are cyberpacks with cybers of NHL-teams and cybersfiles with only one player. Normally the cybers are in filebase / NHL09 / Cyberfaces / NHL for example.

Team Logos: there are two different logos on NHL09 : One Logo is displayed on teamselection screen (ex.: LOGO_LRG_ANA.big) and in the Game (ex.: LOGO_MED_ANA.big). In both files are the team logos, the graphic details are in the LOGO_LRG_ANA.fsh and LOGO_MED_ANA.fsh. So you have to import logos as png.pictures with FshX into the fsh.flies of the teams. Then you have to import the fsh.file into the big.file. After that you put the big.files to directory of NHL09 and then Toolbox is able to import the logos in the game.

the ices are numbered to the team-ID, so there is no effect to arena or scoreboard. the arenas have a big.file (ex.: arenaANA.big) with arena.fsh and board.fsh inside (arena graphic details and board grapic details). Updating arenas and scoreboard are two different imports

the jersey files are two different fiels like the logos. torfs are shown on teamselection screen (ex.: JERS_ANA_00.big) and the jersey in the game have three files (ex.: uni.fsh, numbers.fsh and letters.fsh). it´s the same procedure as the logos

i have read there are two different programs for wide-screen modifying. here is one link widescreen tutorial . Maybe this will help you. I don´t use it, so i can´t explain you how-to-do.

Cybers, you can look at Kings1171's team packs, he has some stuff going on with his wife currently, so he can't continue the packs, but a few are out. Also for cybers, I have been lurking at TBN for a while and taking packs off of there, there's no 1 pack for every player, they're scattered in random packs, download them all, and see which ones you're missing. If you need some links for cyber packs, I'm here to help.

Logos, I can send you some links or a pack for the one's I use that work fine with addon_installer and BHimport..
